New York's behavioral health sector saw an influx of 297 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. This group, composed of 249 individuals and 48 organizations, signals a steady expansion of the state's service capacity.

ABA Workforce Details

Among the new individual providers, the data identifies 25 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 10 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). This results in a low 2.5-to-1 ratio of RBTs to BCBAs, a positive indicator for strong supervision capacity and service quality. The data also includes one provider holding the state-required BCBA, LBA license. These counts are not mutually exclusive, as 60 providers in this update listed multiple taxonomies, reflecting a multi-skilled workforce.

Provider Demographics

The new cohort of individual providers is predominantly female, with women making up 87% of the total. Men account for 12%, and nonbinary individuals represent 2%. This gender distribution is consistent with national trends in the ABA field.

This steady growth in credentialed staff, supported by a healthy supervision ratio, points toward an expanding and sustainable ABA workforce in New York.
